Collaboration

Pure beauty is hard to find these days in the Western world, especially things that weren't created at the expense of someone else. We want it all, by preference as soon as possible and at a low cost. As I was walking through these gardens of Puento Romano in Marbella, on my way to the amazing Restaurant Serafina, I was taking a closer look at these flowers, that have been...

This weekend I had the best weekend ever with the most beautiful woman in the world: my mother. As you might know from the article "Andalusian Alleys", my grand grand grandparents bought a casita in the South of Spain in the 1950's. And my mother and I thought it was a good idea to spend some quality time there, our second home. We left our guys in NL so we could do the...

Today I show you some of my favorite pieces of apparel as well as the benefits of fast fashion. Zara is the world's leader of fast changing fashions but there are more such as Mango, H&M, Primark and Abercrombie & Fitch. They offer a few basic models and reorders are not very common. Designers design new items on a daily basis and are able to deliver stylish products within three weeks...

Get the look: Cut out dress by Alexander Wang x H&M (buy similar one at asos.com), converse all stars, feather hairclip by By PiPit and Otra-Parte Bag. It is my birthday, yeah! And as a twin, I first need to congratulate my sister - remember her?! I quite often hear people say that they don’t like celebrating their birthday. But not me; I always love to honour the next chapter in...

Two strangers, a man and a woman. Waiting, dreaming, wondering around on a deserted platform. No strings that seem to attach, aren't there? Maybe, if you look closer you will see some comparisons; they both wear black, both wrapped in leather and both carry some fine pieces of Italian craftsmanship. Yes, that must be it; these two share a love for leather bags! I already told you in the...

I love to go away for the weekend. A quick visit to the sun, a romantic citytrip or a family visit is just the perfect getaway to relax and charge your battery. Last month I visited Italy twice and only took this Eastpak Transverz Trolley. Always a challenge of course as you have to make smart choices to make sure that everything fits within this hand luggage bag,...

Today I  finally show you what I was wearing exactly one week ago on the openingsnight of Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. This is the kind of outfit I love to wear when I go out. It is uncomplicated, comfortable and accentuate my "good parts". Oke, I hear you thinking, "my what"? Well, personally I love it when my blue eyes, blonde hear and legs are highlighted. That is the reason why...

So you can probably tell from the pictures where these shots were taken. Indeed, Tuscany, Italy, one of the most beautiful places in the world with many tiny romantic villages! A few weeks ago I flew in to spend a couple of beautiful sunny days. As I only went for four days, I decided to only bring along a trolley. A new one as my former suitcase literally had...

When I studied in London five years ago I had a special Saturday ritual. I loved waking up late as I worked in the local pub on Friday night, going to Portobello Road, visiting TopShop on Oxford Circus whereafter I would dress up for the big party night out. I don't know about you, but when I go abroad, it is easy to be infatuated by a local fashion brand....

Today I show you a piece of Wayuu art, the perfect example of what I call "pure eye candy". I am talking about the Wayuu mochilla bag that is hanging around my shoulders. This bag has been knitted by the Wayuu Indian Tribe in Colombia that is celebrated for its colorful and cultural bags and have been producing these accessories for many generations. The Wayuu people are known as the people of the...
